[Local Recommendation] Northern land appears in a residential area! Enjoy a surprisingly voluminous grilled lamb set meal at "Shokujidokoro Oshamanbe"

I was told by a gourmet friend that they discovered a place with astounding appearance and flavor, which is "Shokujidokoro Oshamanbe" located in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The restaurant was quietly nestled in a serene residential area. The author, who has a bit of a commitment to lamb as evidenced by ordering grilled lamb regularly, went straight to the location without hesitation!

I went to Sagamihara to eat at the popular Genghis Khan restaurant in a residential area

With excitement in my heart, I headed to "Oshamanbe" by car. According to a friend who referred me, there seems to be parking available, and as I checked Google Maps and made my way, I indeed discovered the "Oshamanbe" sign in the middle of the residential area! Unfortunately, the parking lot was full... or so I thought, but just at the right moment, a spot opened up. A promising start.

Oshamanbe
Location: 1793-2 Kamimizu, Chuo-ku, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture
Business hours: 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

At the outdoor tables, there was a menu and a board where I wrote my order and waited for my turn. Since it was Saturday lunchtime, about five groups were ahead of me. I glanced at the parking lot and saw cars lined up, surprised by its popularity.

In addition to my main goal, the "Genghis Khan set meal," they had a variety of hearty options like "Ginger Pork set meal" and "Fried Chicken set meal." I was almost tempted to change my order, but today I was committed to the Genghis Khan!

After waiting for about 30 minutes, my name was finally called. I had imagined Genghis Khan would take a long time to cook, so I was surprised by how smoothly things were running.

The rumors were true about the generous portion of Genghis Khan

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I found a calm space that felt like a time slip back to the Showa era. The cleanliness was evident due to the thorough cleaning, making it a comfortable place to be. There were tatami seating and table seating, but I was shown to a table for four. The appetizing aroma filled the air, making my stomach growl involuntarily.

Once I sat down and took a breath, the sauce for Genghis Khan and cold tofu were promptly brought to me. According to my friend, this sauce is exceptional.

And in no time at all, the Genghis Khan set meal arrived. I was truly surprised at how fast the service was! On the iron plate, the star of the show, Genghis Khan, along with bean sprouts, garlic chives, and cabbage, were heaped on generously. This was indeed the large portion as rumored, like a mountain of treasure.

My husband, who came with me, ordered extra meat for 200 yen more. Indeed, the amount of Genghis Khan on top was different.

First, let's try the star of Genghis Khan, the lamb. Oh! The moment it entered my mouth, the bouncy tenderness and rich flavor of Genghis Khan spread throughout. Of course, there was absolutely no unpleasant odor.

The vegetables, such as bean sprouts, also had a sweetness to them, and their crunchy texture provided a nice accent. This Genghis Khan was at a higher level than the one I had ordered in the past, and I might even like it more than the Genghis Khan I had last year in Sapporo.

The sauce lived up to the rumor! A famous restaurant that makes you want to go back right away

As I continued to eat, I realized that the sauce was superb, just as the rumor had said. The flavor and richness of the grilled lamb exquisitely mingled with the fruity sauce, creating a wonderful harmony. It can be said that this meat exists because of this sauce. I was worried if I could finish the mountain of food placed on the table, but before I knew it, I was down to the last piece. I even felt a sense of regret, and in no time, I had finished it completely.

To think I could eat this quality of grilled lamb nearby... I would strongly recommend it to lamb lovers, of course, but also to those who have never tried it. I have to go again next week! This was the kind of place.
